These Two New Ram Cummins Duallys Are Both Towing Monsters, But Why Is One So Much Cheaper?

[@TFLtruck]

Save up to $1,300 on a Ford or Mopar (RAM, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat) extended factory warranty for your new vehicle at Granger Motors! Ford: www.grangerfordextendedwarranty.com/ Mopar: www.buymoparwarranty.com/

For anyone seeing this, Granger is legit when it comes to selling extended warranties. I got a 7 year 100k mile Ford Protect Platinum plan with key services for my 2022 Ranger for just under $1300 (before Ford raised the prices last October). For comparison, this would be almost $4000 at the dealer. Super easy, they have a web form that takes in your VIN and shows you your options and pricing, and will even take payment over the website

Around the yards, my recollection was about half the truck were Rams, with GM and Ford making up the rest. I didn't make enough money to make payments on a $75000 truck and trucker's insurance.

Halogens can be found at almost all truck stops.

[@x219c]

@@thedopplereffect00 They often are more reliable, but many can attest that this is not always the case. Often the LED itself is fine, but the electronics that drive them fail. Think around your house, even. I've had to replace many LED bulbs. Even full light fixtures well before their claimed 20,000 hours of life. That's just an example, but I've seen LED headlights that had a side out. (usually GM, strangely) It happens. Xenon might be a better alternative due to availability of parts, and they can melt snow too. They're almost as pricy as LED though. Any way you slice it, there's many good reasons not to want LED in a working truck like this. Last, but not least... Cost is orders of magnitudes less. It should also be noted that halogens now last quite a while too. It's not like it used to be.

You're right in that they're rated for longer lives, but when a light can put you out of service, it's not what some drivers want to pay extra for to have their trucks equipped with. These trucks are already really expensive. These are made to make money. Maybe some people would do the math and make that choice. I wouldn't on a work truck.

You see more RAM hotshots on the road because RAM is the cheapest way to get into a new diesel for hotshotting than GM and Ford. It's as simple as that.

Probably yes. And also the Cummins is "simpler" than the PS or the Duramax, in some things than others. Cummins does have a million mile track record, so there is that....proven engine. The only issues aside from emissions are the new lifters they made...for the I6.

Incorrect. They are better trucks for hauling, it’s what they’re made for. Simple as that

[@bigjohnd1973]

Like you said about the number of RAMs used among hot shot drivers, I see the same in the RV world. Pull into any campground and look at the brands of the tow vehicles around you. Out of 10 you will see 1 or 2 GM trucks, 3 or 4 RAM and the rest Ford. Many times you see a fairly even split between RAM and Ford. The GMs are vastly outnumbered in what you see in average use. The point about familiarity at truck stops, etc. with the RAM inline 6 turbo diesel is a good one. We are venturing out from TN this year to make a trip to Montana and that is one thing I think about with my 2015 Cummins is the likelihood of finding some knowledgeable help if it's ever needed. Many heavy equipment mechanics are very familiar with the inline 6 as well.

People converting pick up cabs to sleepers to avoid DOT registration, safety rules, professional driver licences and proper training to drive a big machine in busy traffic is terrifying. It's like going back to the 40s... When truckers actually slept on wooden boards behind the driver seat as a bed. People shouldn't do that to themselves. Get a CDL, buy a big rig and make customers and shippers pay the price truckers deserve people. Don't use a farmer truck for long haul. Much more money and safety to gain when using actually big rigs for long haul transport.

[@gungadinn]

There are negatives using a class tractor in place of a heavy duty pickup truck. Insurance on a class 8 truck is more, no 4-WD, wear items like tires cost twice as much. Oil changes were 4X as much. Towing in traffic or tight locations becomes difficult. I owned a 99 International Eagle, with the big sleeper. My brother drove the truck for a few years before getting his own truck. Having said that, the stability of a class 8 truck is much better. Stopping power is greater, except in the rain. Fuel economy was in the mid 8 mpg's loaded, unloaded was upper 8's. Everything else, class 8 dealership parts and service departments svck.

@@hitempguy My mileage numbers were for a class 8 truck not a 3500-5500 series truck. There is a huge negative on using a smaller truck. Most Hot Shots don't have their own authority. The company you're leased onto take a good percentage of the load. Brokers know that Hot Shot's operate smaller equipment and refuse to pay the same rate that a larger truck demands. (when you can find work) If you have your own authority, you're apt to stick around for a day or two waiting for a load, since you're paying the fuel bill. Even getting 13 mpg, a 500 mile trip and the empty return is going to cost you close to $200 in fuel.
